Over the course of the last several years, King Charles and Prince Harry have seen the almost complete dissolution of their relationship. Over the course of many years, Harry had the impression that his father did not consider him to be nearly as significant as Prince William. The fact that he chose the moniker Spare for his autobiography indicates that this was not a simple coincidence.
Over the course of many years, Harry’s relationship with the Royal Family has been fraught with tension. It is reported that his father is upset with what his estranged son has said and done in recent times, and that because of this, he and his brother, Prince William, do not communicate with each other under any circumstances.
Additionally, Prince Harry is pursuing his own professional choices, despite the fact that stories about whether or not peace negotiations may be on the table continue to fluctuate. The fact that he and Meghan Markle have gone on two trips that have been branded “royal” this year was not lost on his father, and there are stories that say Prince Charles is not even answering Harry’s calls at this point.
In point of fact, a fairly surprising assertion has been made about the phone conversations, which suggests that King Charles has a particularly harsh response whenever he finds out that Harry is attempting to use the phone to contact him.
When the year 2020 rolled around, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan decided that they had had enough. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced that they would be stepping down from their prominent royal duties, and not long after that, they relocated to Montecito, California, in the United States. The couple concentrated on starting a new chapter in their life while they were there, where they brought up their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
The publication of Harry’s book Spare in January of the previous year caused a stir among members of the royal circle. The Duke of Cambridge and his wife had previously made some allegations against the Royal Family, but the revelations that were made in the book caused the royal family to be in a state of disarray.
Considering the circumstances surrounding Harry’s friendship with Prince William and Kate Middleton, this was the last nail in the coffin. A further detrimental blow was dealt to Harry’s relationship with his father, in addition to the aforementioned.
In Spare, Harry divulged a great deal of information, including aspects of his boyhood and the manner in which his father conducted himself. According to the Duke, it had already been decided on the day of his birth that he would not be as significant as his elder brother. This was something that had been previously settled.
It is not a secret that Harry was dissatisfied with the manner in which Charles behaved following the passing of his mother. Harry said that his father did not even embrace him in an attempt to soothe him. In addition, Harry noted in Spare that he was of the opinion that, as the title of the book suggests, he was the “spare” member of his own family.
He went so far as to assert that he was aware of his birth in the event that his older brother William need a gift of blood or organs.
According to what Harry wrote, “I was the shadow, the support, and the plan B.” In the event that anything were to happen to Willy, I was sent into the world to give backup, distraction, and diversion. I was called upon to do these things. The all of this was made very plain to me from the very beginning of my journey through life.
When it comes to Harry and his sentiments over his position within the Royal Family, the term “spare” has become associated with him. Not only that, but he said that Charles was the first person to use the term.
A “joke” that Harry’s father “allegedly” told Diana on the day that Harry was born was the subject of a narrative that Harry included in his book.
“What a wonderful! “Now you’ve given me an heir and a spare — my work is done,” Harry wrote about his father’s statements in the book Spare.
“On the other hand, minutes after delivering this bit of high comedy, Pa was said to have gone off to meet with his girlfriend,” Harry remarked, referring to Camilla, who is now the Queen of England. The phrase “so many true words spoken in jest” follows.
Meghan Markle was also seen to be something of an outsider inside the realm of the royal family, according to several accounts. Over the course of many years, Meghan was a member of the Royal Family; but, when Queen Elizabeth II passed away, she was not permitted to accompany Prince Harry on a trip to Balmoral in order to say her last farewells.
The only people who were able to get to Balmoral before the late queen breathed her last breath were Prince Charles and Princess Anne, who were the only ones who made it there. Kate Middleton did not accompany Prince William, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward, and Sophie Wessex on their trip; however, Prince William did travel with others.
As an alternative, she remained in London in order to collect Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis from their respective schools and be ready to inform them about what had transpired.
As was previously said, it turned out that Meghan was not welcome in Blamoral. Harry recounted in his book about the awful moment he learned that the Queen had passed away, as well as what his father had warned him about Meghan not being welcome in the United Kingdom.
When the aircraft began to descend, I saw that the screen of my cell phone began to light up. I received a message from Meg that said, “Call me as soon as you finish reading this.” I looked at the website for the BBC. Death had befallen my granny. When I was growing up, my father was the King. I wore a piece of black tie. a strong rain was there as I walked off the aircraft.
Harry went on to say, “After that, my father called once more.” It was his assurance that I would be welcome at Balmoral, but without her. As he began to describe his arguments, he realized that they were not only incomprehensible but also rude. He continued to explain his reasoning. It was something that I could not put up with from him. Not even a single thought should be given to discussing my wife in such a manner. With a stuttering voice, he expressed his regret and said that he just did not want the location to be crowded with people.
“He told me that nobody’s wife was going to go, not even Kate, so Meg shouldn’t go either,” he concluded. “Nobody’s wife was going to go.”
Recently, there has been a lot of discussion over the connection between Prince Harry and King Charles. Earlier this year, when the king was informed that he was battling cancer, Prince Harry made the decision to fly to the United Kingdom in order to see his father and show his support.
In spite of the fact that King Charles is reportedly “heartbroken” by the fact that he will not be able to see his grandchildren across the Atlantic, it appears that he has crossed a line with his son, which contains a provision that prohibits him from going back on his decision.
The assertion that Harry’s father no longer answers his phone calls was made by a person close to Harry only a few weeks ago.
According to the individual who spoke with People Magazine, “He gets ‘unavailable right now.com.” No one picks up when he phones back. It has been his attempt to get in touch with someone on the King’s health, but his calls have not been returned.
It is well knowledge that Harry and Meghan have made the decision to forego their trip to the United Kingdom due to concerns over safety. The couple is of the opinion that they and their children are not secure under the current arrangement, which allows them to be responsible for paying for their own security and does not provide them with any aid from the Royal Family.
He is reportedly getting ready to file an appeal against a court verdict that maintained the decision that denied him security in the United Kingdom, as reported by People. Harry wants to reinstall his security, according to an insider who spoke to a news site in the United States. This would, in the long term, mean that he would have more freedom when he, his wife, and their two children visit the United Kingdom.
Nevertheless, despite the fact that Harry places a high priority on the issue of security, there is, unfortunately, an additional layer of significance that it plays. In an interview with People Magazine, a royal source said that the Duke’s relationship with his father is significantly impacted by the question of whether or not Harry and his family are provided with security facilities while they are in the United Kingdom.
A source close to the royal family told People that Harry is “frightened” and that he believes his father is the only one who can do something about the situation.
It’s possible that a recent report that King Charles is interested in having a conversation with Prince Harry provides royal enthusiasts with all the information they want to comprehend the current state of affairs between the father and son pair.
Emily Andrews, a commentator on royal affairs, claims that King Charles reacts in a severe manner whenever an assistant approaches him with a phone to alert him that Prince Harry is on the line.
Since then, even his own father has stopped answering his phone calls. According to what she shared with the Mirror, “I’ve been told that whenever courtiers bring the phone to the King (Charles does not have his own mobile phone), he signals them away in a frustrated manner.”

The reason for this is not because there has been yet another disagreement, as Andrews explained further. Rather, it is believed that Harry wants to continue discussing his continuing struggle for security, which he has been battling in the court for four years and feels Charles has the authority to reinstall. This is the reason why Harry wants to continue discussing his continued fight for security.
As far as making reconciliation with the Royal Family is concerned, it would seem that Harry has undoubtedly destroyed all of his relationships with them. Furthermore, if King Charles choose to do so, he might exact his vengeance on Harry in the future.
All members of the Royal Family join together at Balmoral throughout the month of August to spend time together. On the other hand, the “royal summit” also includes gatherings to discuss what is going to take place in the future. According to the Express, one subject this year was the matter of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
A source told the UK newspaper that discussions were held about removing Harry from the line of succession.
“The order of succession can be altered by statute if a member of the Royal Family permanently resides outside the UK and no longer undertakes royal duties,” the source told Express. “If that were to happen, Harry’s children could also be removed from the line of succession.”
Robert Blackburn, professor of constitutional law at King’s College London, told the Express that while Harry lives abroad, it is not a legal disqualification for becoming monarch. By an Act of Parliament, the Duke can be removed from the line of succession.
“Like Edward VIII, Prince Harry does not wish to perform the role of royalty expected of him and has withdrawn to live abroad. Presumably therefore Prince Harry would be agreeable to abdicate his place in succession if for any reason this became an issue in royal affairs being legislated upon,” said Blackburn.
Robert Blackburn explained that while King Charles and the royals may want to remove Harry from the line of succession, it’s ‘customary’ that the British Government, not the monarch, takes the initiative to put forward a bill like that.
Still, removing Harry from the line of succession could be tricky, the professor said.
“The only possible scenario, as I see it, is for there to be a Government Bill being prepared on another royal issue, such as an amendment to the Regency Act dealing with eligible counsellors of state, and a clause being added at the same time which Prince Harry himself requests that removes him from the line of succession as a mark of him clearly wishing to relinquish all ties to the public work of the Monarchy and Royal Family,” Robert Blackburn told the Express.
